Ohio State offers in-state lineman J.D. Duplain The Buckeyes are making a move on another in-state offensive lineman: Strongsville’s J.D. Duplain has been offered by Ohio State. Duplain is a 6-foot-5, 290-pound interior lineman and is currently committed to Michigan State. The Buckeyes had previously offered Spartans commit Nick Samac, a teammate of Ohio State commits Ryan Jacoby and Noah Potter at Mentor High School. But this offer to Duplain may end a bit differently than the endeavor to flip Samac. The Ohio State offer is the 26th for Duplain. I believe this recruitment will end with him signing with the Buckeyes. Stay tuned for more on his recruitment soon.

Ohio State not out of the race for J.D. Duplain yet The Buckeyes offered Strongsville offensive lineman J.D. Duplain early in October, and at this point he’s not made any visit to Ohio State or given any public indication that his commitment to Michigan State is in jeopardy. Duplain, Ohio’s 35th-ranked prospect in the Class of 2019, visited the Spartans the weekend after receiving his Ohio State offer. And last weekend he was once again in East Lansing, checking out two of the schools vying for his services. The Buckeyes have tried to maintain a presence with Duplain, and according to a source in Columbus, they’ve not given up pursuing Duplain. The two sides continue to talk and Ohio State is hoping for a visit at the end of this month. That has to happen if there’s any chance for an eventual flip.

Huge development for the Buckeyes, who have been trying to get Duplain on campus since the Oct. 2 offer and are hoping to flip from the Spartans. pic.twitter.com/pYdWEfOGNJ— Garrett Stepien (@GarrettStepien) November 24, 2018
Does this mean he decommitted from MSU? Or is he an exception to Dantonios "no visits once committed" policy?
